CLOSURE: Discuss the two statements in the Review and Assess section TE 93. F. Assessment: What will you use to measure student understanding? Students will write a short paragraph describing a trade they would conduct in our school for example trading computers for i-pads for our classroom. E10.5.1 Define trade and commodities used in trade.

Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson. Students will write a short paragraph describing a trade they would conduct in our school, they will also have to state why they would conduct this trade, how can it benefit them and why. This will allow me to understand if my students are understood the concepts used in trade. G. Reflection: 1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach? I think the easiest part to teach will be discussing about trading from the previous lesson taught. 2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach? I think the most challenging part to teach will be having the students come up with a trade they would conduct in our classroom and stating why it would benefit our school. 3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson? As an extension to the lesson, I would use Extend Lesson 2 (pg. 94-95) Tools for Discovery. 4. What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts? For the students that who dont grasp the concepts, I would use the Reteach Mini lesson on pg 93. I would do this gathering in small groups. 5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change? I like the way this lesson has been created, I dont think I would make any changes.

6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part? The most difficult part of this lesson plan was debating on the assessment, so I incorporated writing and critical thinking to the benefit of our school. By having my students incorporate trading in our school and stating why it would be beneficial, just like countries made trading to their benefit.
